So much going on.

It has been a while since I have updated this so I figured a quick update was needed.  Progress on the layout planning ground to a screeching halt for a variety of reasons first and foremost that I had to travel to attend a wedding.  The big hurdle right now is that I have to figure out how to effectively compress the Southwestern Ice and Cold Storage facility with out losing its aesthetics. This facility sat right between the old yard and the new yard and determining its size for the layout is crucial to determining the size and location of other industries and tracks.  That's not to say I haven't been doing work in the hobby, in the interim I have been helping my dad with a few projects for his layout.  He models the Great Northern circa 1955 so when ever I get frustrated with my layout, his projects are a nice change of pace.  On another note I had the privilege of going on Model Rail Radio and discussing my layout ideas with Tom Barbalet.  You can find that episode by following the link here: http://www.modelrailradio.com/archive.html#122.  If you aren't already listening to this fine podcast I cant recommend it enough, along with A Modelers Life and The Model Railcast Show.  Sorry for the short post but as I said there is so much going on right now.
